southsider2k5 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The crazy thing is Bolt was awful out of the blocks. If he gets out quickly, he smashes his world record. Watching him close the race when he was at top speed is just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 So I'm watching the Canadian feed of the Olympics and just saw a hilarious War of 1812 commercial, talking about how Canadians and Brits stood shoulder-to-shoulder to fight off those invading yanks.

That really was the legitimate first act of that war. Supposedly fought over trade routes, impression of sailors, forts out west...and the first thing the U.S. does after war is declared is try to conquer canada.

LittleHurt05 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 The men's basketball almost lost to Lithuania over the weekend? Let's hear again about how they are better than the Dream Team, lol. On a side note, I finished a third of the Dream Team book, enjoying it, lots of call facts/insight I had never known about the players & team.

He may not be the best starter, but once he hits top speed, it's all over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Soccer isn't being held for primetime, no spoiler tag needed. The US will probably be fine. They've controlled the run of play, but s*** happens. They have a dangerous enough attack to win this, especially against such an inferior opponent.

cabiness42 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 France can finish second in Group A in basketball if the USA beats Argentina by any amount or if Argentina beats the USA by at least 49 points. I suggest they root for the first outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing the ball went back in off that defender or the ref would have been forced to make a goal line call. The keeper blocked it back out after it crossed the line.
